Clippers season to end in Toledo

The Clippers ended th 2012 season with a 4-3 win over the Toledo Mud Hens today in Fifth Third
Field.

Columbus, the two-time defending International League and Triple-A National
champions, finished second to Indianapolis in the IL West Division and didn't
make the playoffs for the first time since 2009.

The coaching staff and players will go their separate ways at game's end. A few Clippers can
look forward to playing the rest of the month with the Cleveland Indians. Second baseman Cord
Phelps, jack-of-all-trades Vinny Rottino, reliever Scott Maine and starting pitcher David
Huff all received word following the game that the Indians had called them up.

Columbus manager Mike Sarbaugh is headed home to Shillington, Pa., after the game for a 10-day
break. He will join the Indians for the final portion of the season.

Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall (right forearm) iplayed a second straight injury rehab game with
the Clippers. He was 0 for 4 as the DH in this game and will transfer to double-A Akron for
the Eastern League playoffs. He could be ready to return to the Indians after a couple of games
there.

Former Clipper pitcher Carlos Carrasco (right elbow) will see him in Akron. He is pitching one
inning for the Aeros in his first rehab appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery last
year.

In the game, the Clippers built a 3-0 lead through five innings behind the pitching of
Cole Cook. Jared Goedert had an RBI single in the first and Luke Carlin delivered a two-run
double in the fourth inning.

The Mud Hens chipped away against the Columbus bullpen after Cook left. Ben Guez hit a
home run off Huff in the sixth to break up the shutout. Toledo solo runs off Matt
Langwell in the seventh and eighth to tie the game at 3-3.

The Clippers rallied in the ninth. Carlin singled and went to second on an Aaron
Cunningham sacrifice bunt. Tim Fedroff followed with an RBI single to drive in the winning
run. Dan Wheeler pitched the ninth to earn the save.
